What did you think of todays' episode?

The partition of India is the largest and quickest mass migration of individuals, and glossed over in history. As many formal subjects of the British Empire in what is now modern day India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh navigated to boundaries they didn't know about before August 15th of 1947, violence that many in Britain never expected erupted across the area. Many families were forever separated--not like there was a cell phone to call, nor did you know WHERE your family was going to settle after the new religious boundaries were drawn and enacted. While most migration and movement by individuals in the Indian subcontinent was completed by January 1948, the 5 months prior were full of not only murder, but acts that would be considered terrorist like to many nowadays. Take a listen as Trisha and I go over how the subject came up, and learn more about how this violent migration happened after the British left British India.
